Desperate times for depleted Saints

Sean Payton doesn’t pay much attention to the mysticism surrounding the New Orleans Saints’ mostly losing four-decade history. That the Louisiana Superdome was built on a cleared cemetery and that this city has historical ties to Voodoo doesn’t concern him.He’d be the last person to buy the idea that someone has been sticking pins in a Saints bobblehead, not that anyone has any better explanation for why a team with playoff aspirations has been afflicted with so much misfortune this season.The Saints have placed 15 players on injured reserve, including four defensive starters.

New Orleans Saints Coach Sean Payton: Were going to have to play better

A night of reflection did nothing to change the plight of the New Orleans Saints as they head into the final month of the NFL season.

The way the NFC playoff picture is shaping up, it’s likely the Saints will have to run the table and finish the regular season at 10-6 just to stay in playoff contention. And they’ll have to do it without safety Kevin Kaesviharn who is expected to miss one, perhaps two games after suffering a shoulder injury in Sunday’s 23-20 divisional loss at Tampa Bay.

“We have four weeks left, and (we) certainly understand how everyone else is playing ahead of us and that makes it much more challenging. Nonetheless, we have a home game here against Atlanta in the division. We’re going to have to play better. I think that’s where it’s at.”

Last week, I reminded all of the Saints Fans that “We Still Have a Problem,” and I was right.  Sean Payton and his band of inconsistent professional football players were dismantled by THEMSELVES.   Tampa Bay Bucs didn’t win the game on brute strength defense and a high-powered offense, they simply [...]
